Default My New Toy

Hello all,

Just thought id introduce myself. I'm Mark and I live in Bedfordshire, been wanting an S2000 since i sat in one at the Herts County Show in 2002 and finally put a deposit down for one yesterday. She is in absolutely perfect condition, not a stone chip or dent on her. Cant wait to pick her up on Wednesday



She is a GT, so i need to find somewhere to store the hardtop during the summer.

Im sure i'll be hanging around on here now to keep up with all the chat and banter.

Mark

Nice car, slow colour but very nice

Regarding the hardtop, sell it on here, you will get between 600 or thereabouts for it, and a further 200 for the catchers etc.

I am sure you will enjoy it loads over the next few months of summer, welcome

For a 5 year old car with 2 previous owners i couldnt believe how good a condition it was in. There is a slight bit of "peeling" (thats how i would describe it) on the alloys, but the interior is top class, as is the rest of the paint.

The test drive was amazing, first time i had driven an S and i had the biggest smile on my face when i got out. Wife complained that i never get that excited about anything she does !!!

And that won't be the last time she gonna complain

When you want roof down, she'll say it is to cold.

When you do get the roof down, it will mess her hair up.

Oohh and the list wil go on, welcome to the car that make women moan

Welcome Mark. Nice looking car.

Maybe you would like to check out the local monthly meets at Milton Keynes and/or Herts, Welwyn.
